If you think the SAT is in any way shape or form an indicator of intelligence or skills you would be objectively wrong. Someone with ADHD is likely going to perform poorly on the SATs due to the test environment but that does not indicate how well they'll perform in a professional environment.
Similarly I can think of people in college who would abuse Adderall in order to get higher scores. Do you think those people are more or less intelligent? Should we consider the metrics before or after usage?
- SamReidHughes 8y agoThis is a wild tangent that has nothing to do with OP's situation, which is that he went to a university with several classmates that are smarter than him/her. This is generally a good thing for your university to have. And no, he doesn't have any hypothetical brain powers that make up for it.
- fzeroracer 8y agoYou keep assuming that his classmates are smarter than them on the basis of one point of data. You're extrapolating so much out of a simple statement that it ventures into the realm of absurdity. And you brought us into this wild tangent by implying that SAT scores are somehow indicative of general intelligence and asking the OP to see what they got on their SATs.
- SamReidHughes 8y agoSAT scores are indicative of general intelligence, and a good double check that it isn't underpreparation with algorithms or less experience simply coding. OP presumably isn't the smartest kid in his university. It's unlikely. Such is life.
